Hi Steve,
You know if we are entitled for the Centrelink family benifits, and we would getting our visa approved after 6 months, then are they paying all from the date we lodged our visa?
Or anyone know about that? Because one of my friends told me like that... But I'm not sure...

Hi AK12DEC2015...you are entitled to Centrelink benefits only when you get PR...before that you are only eligible for medicare.you will get centerlink family benefits from the day you become PR.

OMGD...
may be its cheaper to late our files rather than quick grants...

i dont understand why you said that....may be you didnt get me...you will not get anything from back date from centrelink at all...centrelink will consider you for family benefit only from the very first day you achieved you PR grant.
